Spring Into Comfort: Keep it Fitting Properly & Fresh!

Whether you’re shopping for new pieces or revisiting your favorites, getting the right fit and knowing how to care for your lingerie is key to ensuring both comfort and longevity. As we wrap-up our Spring Series, we’ll touch on essential tips on finding the perfect fit, along with easy care practices to keep your pieces looking and feeling their best. Let’s dive in and make this season’s lingerie not just stylish, but also comfortable and durable!

ALL ABOUT FIT!

The first step to finding the perfect lingerie is understanding your measurements. Approximately 80% of women in the US are wearing the wrong size bra! A well-fitting bra should feel snug but not tight. The band should sit horizontally across your back, and the straps should stay in place without digging into your shoulders. Tightening bra straps to the max can lead to unnecessary pressure on your shoulders. A proper fit should focus on the band providing 90% of your support. If the cups overflow, they are telling you they are too small!

Even with these pointers in mind, nabbing a bra that nails it all can still be quite the challenge. But fear not! Our Fit Experts are on standby to assist you in scoring the ideal match!

PROPER CARE OF YOUR LINGERIE

To keep your lingerie in great condition, proper care is essential. Here are some tips on how to extend the life of your favorite pieces:

  • Rotate Bras:  A minimum of 3 gives you 1 to wear today - 1 in your drawer for tomorrow - and 1 in the laundry. Women over-wear bras which is the the reason they wear out. If you don’t like laundering, simply add more bras!  Avoid wearing a bra 2 days in a row. It’s best to let the elastic recover and shrink back to its ideal size. After 2 wears, give it a wash to remove oils.
  • Hand Wash If you want your intimates to last, hand washing is the way to go. Even the cheapest bras have the hand wash symbol. DO NOT put intimates in the dryer! Heat warps & stretches the synthetic fibers. 
  • Air Dry: Never wring out or tumble dry your lingerie. The heat from the dryer can break down the elastic fibers. Instead, lay your lingerie flat to dry or hang it to air dry, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.   Air dry bras & you will double the life of your bras.
  • Use Delicate Detergent: Proper care of your intimates is essential to maintaining its beauty and longevity. We recommend Glamorous Wash®, a luxurious laundry detergent that not only cleanses but also leaves it delicately scented, creating an intimate aura around your garments.  Select from Diva - Trophy - High Maintenance - or Entitled.  Which one are you???

 

IS IT TIME FOR A REFRESH???

No matter how well you care for your lingerie, everything has a shelf life. Here are some signs that it’s time to replace your favorite pieces:

  • Streched Out Band: If the band on your bra is stretched out and no longer provides support, it’s time for a new one.
  • Loss of Elasticity: Lingerie that no longer maintains its shape or has loose threads needs to be replaced for comfort and appearance.
  • Visible Wear and Tear: Small rips, frays, or holes are a clear indication that your lingerie has reached its limit.

Lingerie is an investment in both style and comfort. Understanding how to get the best fit while properly caring for your garments will ensure they last longer and maintain their beauty!
